Özet:

Dislexia is one of the most common learning difficulties. The world’s ratio is between 2 and 10 percent, but this ratio can rise to 20 percent in some countries. In Turkey, there are very few studies that show the proportion of dislexic individuals to normal individuals. Therefore, this study is considered important in terms of revealing the existence and characteristics of dyslexis in Turkey. In this study, the aim is to determine the ratio of primary and secondary school students at risk of dyslexia in the educational environment and to evaluate these students according to some characteristic characteristics. For this purpose, Ankara or Kalecik district - all primary and secondary school students who studied in Kalecik district - were taken to evaluate. Before starting the study, the necessary permits were obtained from the Kalecik Province National Education Directorate and the list of students who studied in the primary, secondary school was obtained. There are 6 primary schools in Kalecik district, 6 secondary schools in 12 schools. There were 1175 students. These students’ lectures were first evaluated by their teachers and then by the researchers. The research center was then informed about the work and all students were evaluated by four specialists appointed by the research center. The evaluations were carried out using the "Special Learning Difficulty Identification Form" prepared by the Half-Structured Student Observation Form and Guide Research Unit developed by the researcher by scanning national and international literature and applied by institutional experts. The work lasted five months. The obtained data is studied in nine subtitles using the content analysis method, percentage and frequency. The assessment resulted in the ratio of students at risk of dyslexia, the gender information of these students, class levels, hand preference, the presence of other individuals with reading problems in their families, the presence of attention deficiency diagnosed by teachers, the age of beginning to speak, the average of their classes and the areas they are interested in.
